What is the Zodiac Sign for May 23rd ?
The zodiac sign for May 23rd is Gemini. Gemini is represented by the Twins who are in the Gemini constellation. The constellation was named after the Greek and Roman myth of Castor and Pollux, half-brother twins. What exactly are half-brother twins? Castor and Pollux had the same mother, Leda, but different fathers. Tyndareus was the father of Castor and Zeus was the father of Pollux. An interesting twist (besides the half-brother twin part) was that Castor was mortal and Pollux was immortal. They must have been close twins because Pollux asked his dad to donate some of his immortality to Castor so they could be together forever. That is when they were transformed into the Gemini constellation!
